Happy Haunting!!

HALLOWEEN!!!!!

Halloween is so much more fun now that we have a little one. The whole day was filled with activities and candy!! We started out the day by heading to Main Street for the Halloween Parade. We got Jadeyn into his little costume: a brightly colored dragon complete with wings! When we had tried it on him at home, he walked around with his arms straight out saying "Uh-oh! Uh-oh!" over and over again!! Today was a much better success. He marched around proudly displaying his costume as everyone pointed and told us how adorable he was!! He led us up and down Main Street three times amazed by all the activity around him. Half the time he was running ahead of us wearing his little legs out early.

When the parade began, he LOVED the marching band!! He stamped his little feet to the musin and we had to hold him back from running out and joining them. I love this picture of Kevin holding him back by his tail!
The second half of the parade was all the kids marching along showing off their costume. Jadeyn just couldn't hold back and had to march along with them. Then came the Trick or Treating at the businesses. 3,000 kids is what they estimated!

The first piece of candy went in Jadeyn's back and he had to stop right there, pull it out and demanded that it be opened up for him to enjoy!! Luckily be brought plenty of tissue to wipe up the drool! He loved it.
Afterwards we stopped by Kevin's office. Last year Kevin and I handed out candy from Longmont Vision, but this year Dr Trudell's wife took on that duty so we could have fun. My co-worker, Amber and her mom and husband were there with Jadeyn's favorite part of the parade: two adorable doggies all dressed up.

In this photo, Jadeyn is teasing Dixie dressed up as a BumbleBee.

Here is Jadeyn with two neighbor buddies at the mall: A puppy-Davis and a tiger-Lily. Sweet!
Nighttime came (well, 5pm came) and it was time to hit the streets!! Our neighbors are so wonderful and its always such fun to visit withe them, that we took at least five minutes a house!! Jadeyn of course loved rining the doorbells and greeting any pet that happed to peek out the door as well! He started to get the hang of taking a piece of candy from the bowl but always tried to hand the piece back to the person at the door! His little legs started to gove out after about 12 houses!! His little Dragon legs were dragging! We headed home where he could answer the door for all our trick or treaters!. This was his favorite part of the night! He got to put a piece of candy in each kid's bag. We even had full sized special candy bars for our favorite neighbor kids. Kevin wants to become known as the "good house" I think!!

What a fun day!!!
